Would You Like To Eat This Creepy Cakes?

A registered nurse in New York by day, Ms Katherine Dey’s hobby in her spare time is baking cakes. But these are not your ordinary confections – among the 30-year-old’s bizarre creepy cakes but realistic creations include a man’s head, a naked baby, animals and human organs like a heart and a brain with its stem attached.

Ms Dey’s inspiration for her creepy cakes, which are completely edible, come from “a lot of things” and are centered around an eclectic mix of human anatomy, mushrooms and portraiture.

“I love the strange feeling I get when something looks real but it isn’t. Or when a cake doesn’t look particularly appetizing but it is a cake and it tastes delicious,” she told Buzz Feed.

“I like to make people feel two conflicting things at once.”

The mother of two, who studied illustration and sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design, worked for a robotics company before training as a nurse.

Her very first cake a couple of years ago was a tree stump covered in mushrooms, and she has since invested plenty of time and effort into her designs so as to ensure they don’t fall apart easily.

Ms Dey’s cake-making process, according to Vice, involves baking and freezing the cake. She then carves the basic form and re-freezes it before working on details with either chocolate, marzipan or fondant.

The cake’s surface colours are painted with food colouring and frosting mixture.
